"The adolescent" is the title of a very powerful portfolio created in collaboration between a brother and his sister. In this work we become involved in the thought process of a young woman who faces the uncertain passages to adulthood. The black and white lyrical images are accompanied by the voice of the adolescent, as she speaks in engish. (There is an English translation next to each image.) This exhibit contains audio files. It requires the QuickTime 4.1 plug-in (20 black and white photographs)

"My memoires in images, my deliberation over a tragic past, which marked my family, my generation, and the Argentine. The moment has arrived to come to terms with all of this, and do so from the heart, using images and words. I am speaking to the younger generations, telling them that we have to undo this knot in our stomachs, and do so collectively so that history will not repeat itself." Marcelo Brodsky This exhibit contains audio files. It requires the QuickTime 4.1 plug-in   (141 black and white and color photographs)

" With her work, Lucía Chiriboga makes art commited to the search for the blind spots found in the maps of the past, a search which will allow history to be rewritten outside the paradigms of modernism. For her, as for many of today's artists, memory seems to be the place where contemporary reality can be productively articulated. Tenguel, the Size of Time is another account which rejects the exclusion of the Indians from the country's history and from the public territory of institutional discourse." José Antonio Navarrete (17 color photographs)

"...I envy those 13th century Ecuadorians. I envy the comfort they felt with their sexuality, the ease and grace with which they were able to express it. I long for a time when people can once again be that honest with themselves and with one another, can distinguish between what is truly good and truly bad." Edward R. Beardsley (19 color photographs)

Mystery is present in any reality that hides from us the series of causes that produce it. Jorge Rueda (20 color photographs)

"One of the secrets in Anders Petersen's photography is his indication of a possible route of escape, a kind of alternative movement through the city, which could lead to a different story. A woman's gaze into the camera turns into an unsettling invitation, often of the forbidden kind." (24 black and white photographs)

Normally, we human beings run away from pain, perhaps because we don't want to experience the hidden side of life. As far as I can see, half light is not darkness, but possibility. "Fortunate Grief" is precisely this, my straightforward confrontation with distant ghosts and the ones that are not that far. This series has to do with dreams, frustrations, the absurdity, the grief, the fracture, and the joy of being here with oneself. Diego Cifuentes (25 black and white photographs)

I was about to reach 40, and so much was moving inside of me… My mother had just been diagnosed with Parkinson’s. I’m terribly afraid of old age! Vida Yovanovich This exhibit contains audio files. It requires the QuickTime 4.1 plug-in (27 black and white photographs)

"When I take a photograph, my intention is to capture something beyond the scene. The most important thing in the picture is not the photographed subject but the space/distance between that subject and myself. That something (space, distance) made of invisible matter becomes a subject too, which I try to reveal in my photographs." Hiroshi Kamakura (13 color photographs)

"These digital images begin as a collection of individual objects and backgrounds which I scan into my computer one at a time using a very basic flat-bed scanner instead of a traditional camera. When an image is completed, I have the digital file printed onto water color paper. Although they are not traditional photographs, I do think of this as a light-sensitive process. " Maggie Taylor 13 color photographs)

"The intention of this photo-essay is to express, by means of allegories, certain sociopolitical realities of Ecuador, and their consequences: more poverty, demoralization and anxiety in the community." Judy de Bustamante This exhibit contains audio files. It requires the QuickTime 3.0 plug-in (14 color photographs)

"Fascinated with the enigma of abnormality, I combine parts of different faces and bodies to create characters with peculiar appearances. I look for physical expressions that reveal a sense of truth about my character's state of mind and being. I often create children and adolescents because they exist in a state of disingenuous grace and innocence that evokes compassion and sympathy in the viewer." Johan Simen (22 black and white photographs)

"The work I present here is part of three portafolios built over the last eight years, whose titles are: Sierra Zapoteca, Seacity (Marurbe) and Pascual's routes. I developed each one in different times and spaces which become interlaced by my very particular way of conceiving photography. " Jorge Lépez (14 black and white photographs)

"I am attempting to photographically map the environment of Midtown Manhattan as it manifests concepts of corporate order. (...) I am interested in registering the malaise producing and dwarfing effects of these manufactured spaces as well as the exhilarating moments when people break through the effects of corporate culture's constructed landscapes. " Melanie Einzig (17 color photographs)
